That was Ann Nesby's granddaughter from the group Sounds of Blackness.
Mavis does not have children.

Bring it on home. Amen & Amen

Thank you for this; and, thank you for your music.

This afternoon, after hearing of Michael Jackson's death, I blamed it on his parents.

I blamed it on media moguls.

I blamed it on money.

Then I remembered Mavis. How she was taught to be wary of a 'fast' buck. (By her preacher father.)

This woman has ethics.
The Staples family has ethics. Morals.
And a godawfulotof talent.

What makes them different from the Jackson family?

Someone, please tell me.

The Staple Singers & Family stayed grounded and in love with each, their inspirations and their music. All the difference in this world.

the difference is, the father is a member of the group; not the manager. Also, they embraced their spirituality; the Jacksons were at odds with theirs.
